Nissan Announces Pricing for 2005 Pathfinder; All-New
Pathfinder Offers More Space, More Power and More Features

GARDENA, Calif.--Oct. 8, 2004--Nissan North America, Inc. today
announced pricing for its all-new 2005 Nissan Pathfinder sport
utility vehicle. The new third-generation Pathfinder is built
on the F-Alpha platform utilized on the full-size Nissan Armada
and offers a standard 270-horsepower 4.0-liter V6 engine,
5-speed automatic transmission and three-row seating. Its
enhanced off-road performance capabilities include an available
All-Mode 4-wheel drive system and advanced Hill Descent
Control, Hill Start Assist and 4-wheel limited slip.

The new Pathfinder is available in four trim
levels, XE, SE, SE Off-Road and LE and in 2-wheel and 4-wheel
drive to appeal to a wide range of buyers.

The 2005
Pathfinder features a starting Manufacturer's Suggested Retail
Price (MSRP) of $24,650 for the new XE trim 2-wheel drive,
which includes aluminum-alloy wheels, Vehicle Dynamic Control
and AM/FM/CD audio system as standard equipment. The
volume-leading Pathfinder SE adds fog lamps, an 8-way power
driver's seat, a segment-exclusive(a) Easy Clean Cargo Area and
more. The 2-wheel drive SE starts at an MSRP of $25,850, which
is $1,150 less than last year's Pathfinder SE model and
significantly less than comparably equipped competitive segment
leaders.

"The new Pathfinder has been designed to offer
the best balance in its segment of legitimate off-road
capability and true on-road utility -- perfect for the
adventures of young families," said Mark McNabb, vice president
and general manager, Nissan Division. "It features equipment
that our customers will greatly appreciate, such as standard
2nd and 3rd row flat-folding seats, as well as available
DVD-based navigation, DVD video entertainment and Bose(R) audio
systems."

The SE Off-Road model, which is new for 2005,
embodies the spirit of the original Pathfinder as a
rough-and-ready adventure vehicle. It includes such defining
features as distinctive wheels, BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires,
Rancho(R)-branded performance shocks, unique blue seat cloth
and chrome "Off-Road" badging. The 4-wheel drive Pathfinder SE
Off-Road starts at an MSRP of $30,450.
